Dismantle Artian weapons to recover reinforcement materials
Reclaims invested reinforcement materials from an Artian weapon when you want to redirect them to another weapon.
PC / Global, base game through February 2026 endgame updates
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Gemma’s Smithy, in the Reinforce/Dismantle Artian Weapons menu.
Gemma’s Artian weapon menu includes a dismantling option. Dismantling returns the Reinforcement Materials invested in that weapon, but it does not return the Artian Materials used to forge it. This makes the option useful when a reinforced weapon no longer fits your build and you want to redirect its reinforcement investment. Before confirming, check the weapon’s reinforcement count and distinguish the recoverable materials from the original forging parts. Use the recovered Reinforcement Materials through the same Smithy system on another Artian weapon, subject to its displayed requirements. This is a one-time conversion per dismantling action, not a repeatable source of free materials.
Have an Artian weapon with invested reinforcement materials.
Have access to Gemma’s Smithy and the Artian weapon menu.
Choose another Artian weapon or goal for the recovered reinforcement materials.
Open Gemma’s Smithy and choose Reinforce/Dismantle Artian Weapons.
Select the Artian weapon you may no longer need.
Review its reinforcement state and the menu’s dismantling confirmation.
Confirm only after accounting for the original Artian Materials that will not be returned.
Collect the recovered Reinforcement Materials as shown in the interface.
Select the Artian weapon you intend to improve next.
Use the recovered materials through the reinforcement option and review the resulting bonuses.
Farming tips
Check the distinction between forging parts and reinforcement inputs before dismantling.
Choose the replacement weapon first so recovered materials have a clear use.
Repeat, collect and use
Dismantling is available for eligible reinforced Artian weapons, but each action removes that weapon’s reinforcement. It returns invested Reinforcement Materials, not forge materials.
Common mistakes
Expecting all original crafting inputs back; Artian Materials used to forge are not returned.
Dismantling the wrong weapon; confirm its identity and reinforcement state in the menu.
Treating dismantling as a source of additional materials; it only recovers invested reinforcement inputs.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the intended reinforcement materials are recovered and applied to a weapon you plan to use. Do not dismantle further weapons without a replacement goal.
